Yeah I agree. You look at Ed's first interview with Johnny Carson and he obviously has a sense for Johnny's less-evolved, Nebraska-boy take on race relations. And he calls Carson out on one of his questions about Murphy being able to "buy anything he wants" now that he's famous. Eddie was sharp enough to know that Carson probably used the word more regularly off camera and in Cavett's case it was just liberal guilt and awkwardness.

Dick was leaning towards that subject little by little “you like Mark Twain?” “Do you read?

This isn’t the way to go about asking that question. lmfao

@cxidp
@cxidp 4 года назад
Indeed, Collin illustrates my point. Again, as vile as the n-word is we should still discuss its history. Since Eddie Murphy never read Mark Twain his reaction was tense. The sad irony is that Murphy, whose early career included masterful satire of bigotry, is unaware of this outstanding tradition he shares with Mark Twain.

I think he was trying to rile him up to the point of either opening up as a person in front of millions of ppl, or he wanted a reaction due to shock. He got #2.

I love Cavett but I've watched him interview a few black people and he tends to bring up race and it gets awkward. The only person he didn't bring up race that I've seen is Jimi Hendrix and that was a great interview.

Cavetts just dangling his age and “experience” over Eddy’s head the whole time, so weird, it’s not even an interview, it’s like he’s just sizing him up, intimidated and at a loss, trying to project his insecurity. And then the N word shit, which could’ve been an important discussion but was fumbled horribly by Cavett. Holy moly. Props to you guys for uploading this.

Race baiting wasn’t as popular in the 80’s due to the party decade of the 70’s which was looked at as the first decade black people were “Completely Free” and fresh off the civil rights movement and it was easier to ask race baiting questions because most black celebrities were “super woke” and wanted to speak for their people, similar to what the media TRIES to RECREATE today with today’s black celebrities but these times don’t have the racial tension of times past.
